New mother's rights at work

A reader from Dubai asks: I wanted to know if a woman rejoins her company after her maternity leave, which is for 45 days, is she eligible to leave an hour earlier according to the law? I work for a private company under the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) so can I go home an hour earlier after my maternity leave is over?

As per Article 31 of the UAE Labour Law, a breastfeeding mother during a period of 18 months after maternity leave has the right to leave her job, on two shifts, a maximum of half an hour each; which equals to one hour every day.
